Canary Islands Government Announces Transition of Temporary Public Employees to Permanent Staff

The Canary Islands government has finalized its process to hire several temporary public employees as permanent staff, with official notices published in the official bulletin. The resolution confirms the selection of candidates who will now move from temporary contracts to fixed employment, streamlining public sector staffing and reducing job insecurity.

Evaluation and Selection Process

• Candidates have been carefully evaluated.
• Some candidates declined offers or were excluded due to failure to meet requirements or personal preferences for other types of employment.
• The selected individuals will soon begin official procedures, including:
  • signing contracts electronically between February 13 and 20, 2026
  • taking their definitive positions between March 5 and 20, 2026.

Broader Context and Goals

• This move is part of broader efforts to:
  • stabilize employment
  • improve public service efficiency
  • comply with recent legislation aimed at reducing temporary contracts across the public sector.
• The announcement includes measures to notify those not selected or whose procedures are suspended, demonstrating transparency in the process.

Significance
